Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Dosing devices for dosing at least one bulk material are used, among other things, in the plastics industry in continuous and intermittent production processes in which, for example, by extrusion, calendering, rolling and / or coating rods, tubes, sheets, foils, plates and the like and / or by injection molding Molded parts are manufactured.
  • the metering devices can be used in such processes to continuously or batchwise supply production machines with at least one plastic or plastic component present as bulk material. Frequently, two or more different bulk materials are fed and mixed at the same time to the production machine or to a device connected upstream thereof, for example an agitator, by means of the metering device.
  • a bulk material can form the granular base material of the plastic, to which at least one additive, also present as a bulk material, is then mixed, which, for example, serves as a dye or to influence the strength or other physical or chemical properties.
  • Dosing devices serving for dosing and mixing bulk materials can, however, also be used in the manufacture of other products, such as fertilizers and crop protection agents, other chemical and pharmaceutical substances and foods, instead of for plastics processing.
  • the dosage can be volumetric or gravimetric.
  • volumetric dosing With volumetric dosing, the bulk goods supplied per unit of time determined by the volume conveying capacities of conveying bodies, while in gravimetric dosing by weighing the bulk storage containing the bulk goods, the temporal decreases in the goods present in it are determined and regulated, for example, to predetermined target values.
  • a dosing device for dosing and mixing bulk goods known from DE-A-28 38 110 has a good store for each good to be dosed, which opens into the entrance of a horizontal conveying channel, in which a screw conveyor is arranged, around which the good store enters the entrance to convey bulk material reaching the outlet of the conveyor channel to the outlet of the conveyor channel.
  • the outputs of the conveying channels are connected to a collecting inlet of a plastic extruder by slide channels, which are inclined downwards and consist of pipes.
  • the device has two good storage containers.
  • an inclined tube serving as a conveying channel is arranged with a screw conveyor.
  • the upper end of each tube, which protrudes from the container, is connected to an outlet which has a flexible, bellows-like piece of hose connected to the tube and a straight telescopic tube.
  • Each good storage container has an emptying opening at its lower end, which is closed with a slide.
  • the known device makes it possible to change the direction of the outlet by bending the piece of hose.
  • a bellows-like piece of tubing can, however, considerably hinder the sliding of a bulk material, especially if the piece of tubing is strongly bent.
  • a piece of hose that has to be bent to change the outlet direction is also quickly worn out during use and must therefore be replaced after a relatively short period of use.
  • the spouts which consist of a flexible, bellows-like piece of hose and a telescopic tube, are also expensive to manufacture and difficult to clean.
  • each of the pipes forming a conveying channel is arranged inside one of the material storage containers, the material has to be conveyed from the lower end region to the container for removal from the container, which requires a long and expensive screw conveyor and consumes a lot of energy during operation . Furthermore, with a screw conveyor arranged inside the container, it is hardly a complete one The container can be emptied, so that it must still have a closable emptying opening at its lower end, as is also disclosed in CA-A-1 202 591. Since the upper ends of the conveying channels are located above the containers, it would also be practically impossible to arrange the containers above a machine used for further processing of the bulk material in such a way that the containers are at least partially above the floor plan area occupied by the machine. The good storage containers would therefore, especially if more than two such were provided, have a relatively large distance from the axis of the collecting inlet and would accordingly require a lot of space together with the machine for further processing of the bulk material in the floor plan.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a metering device which preferably allows the simultaneous metering and mixing of two or more bulk goods, which eliminates the disadvantages of the known metering devices and in particular enables quick and easy emptying of the stored goods, the metering device being in the plan take up as little space as possible and should also be economically producible.
  • FIG. 1 shows part of a machine 1 used for processing a bulk material mixture, namely an extruder for the continuous extrusion of plastic.
  • the machine 1 has a funnel-like bulk material inlet 3, with an upwardly conically tapering cover part 5, which is provided with four inlet openings 5a distributed around a vertical axis 7.
  • a multiple dosing device, designated as a whole by 11, has a frame 13 which, for example, has columns distributed around the axis 7 and rigidly connected to the frame of the machine 1.
  • the metering device has at least two, namely four, identically designed good stores 17 each connected to the frame 13 via at least one and namely via three load transducers 15.
  • the four good stores 17 are located at least in part above the floor plan area occupied by the machine 1 and are all at the same distance from the axis 7. This distance of the good stores from the axis and the distances of the adjacent good stores are relatively small and, for example, smaller than the maximum horizontal extent of the good stores, so that the four good stores in the floor plan - in comparison to their horizontal cross-sectional areas - take up relatively little space.
  • Each material store 17 consists of a dimensionally stable container and has a prismatic upper part closed at the top with a removable cover 19 and a lower part tapering downwards with a flat wall part 17a inclined towards the axis 7. In its lowermost area, this is provided with an opening which can be seen in FIG. 2 and which forms an outlet 21.

  • all that is required to remove a conveying element is to remove the relevant cover hood 33 and to pivot the swivel arm 69, and the conveying element can then be inclined upwards and away from the axis 7 from the conveyor channel, the bearing device 61 also being separated from the support 31 and the gears 81, 85 disengaging. Thereafter, the or another conveying member can be pushed back into the conveying channel, the bearing device 61 again coming into the stepped hole 31a of the support and the conveying member being brought back into rotational connection with the drive device 83 by means of the said toothed wheels 81, 85.
  • the two gear wheels 81, 85 thus serve to a certain extent during the disassembly and assembly of a conveyor element as a coupling means between the conveyor element and the motor.
  • the bearing device 61 When the bearing device 61 is seated again in the hole 31a of the support 31, it is locked to the support 31 by pivoting the swivel arm 69 and bearing holder 63. Afterwards, the cover must of course be installed again. The removal and installation of a conveyor element can also be carried out quickly and easily.
  • the swivel arm 69 is arranged, for example, in such a way that it prevents the cover 33 from being mounted in the release position in which the locking elements 67 can be removed from the locking recesses 31b.
  • the limit switch 87 interrupts when the limit switch is removed Cover 33 the power supply to the motor of the drive device 83 and therefore prevents operation of the engine with the cover removed.
  • the metering device and its operation can be varied in a variety of ways.
  • the metering device can, for example, instead of a frame connected to the frame of the machine 1 consisting of an extruder, a machine-independent, i.e. stand separately on a floor.
  • the slide channels can open into the inlet of a mixing and collecting container instead of into the inlet of a machine used to process the bulk material mixture.
  • a four good storage device and a metering device each having an associated discharge device only two or three goods can be metered at times.
  • the number of existing good stores and discharge devices can also be only two or three or more than four.
  • even a metering device having only a single good store can be equipped with a discharge device of the type described.
  • the suspension means used for releasably attaching a slide channel in different positions can also be changed in different ways.
  • the middle sections located in the assembled state between the suspension brackets could be omitted, so that three separate suspension elements would then be present on each longitudinal side of the slide channel.
  • releasable securing and / or fastening means for securing and fastening the slide channels for example in the form of quick-release fasteners, could also be provided.
  • the groove 93 of the slide channel 91 could at least at the end that is in the working position below and in the Sampling position and emptying position is located at the top, bounded by edges that span a plane that is not exactly, but only approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the gutter and forms an angle with it, for example, about 70 ° to 110 °.
  • the slide channel could then be parallel to the conveying channel in the working position as in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 14, but form an angle of 70 ° to 110 ° with this in the sampling position and emptying position.
  • each conveying element could have a hollow spiral resilient in the axial direction, which surrounds a free cavity or, with a small amount of play, a fixed mandrel or, together with it, rotating during operation.
  • two conveying members could be provided for each conveying channel, rotating about mutually parallel axes, engaging screws and / or coils.
